The Reason
Everyone in the healing room was still in shock about what had just occurred. The Crogs had used Thomas to Capture the Prince and The King.
"How could this have happened?" asked Canaan
"With this." said Van
He walked over and handed the device over to Koji.
"What is that?" asked the Queen
"The way the Crogs was controlling Thomas. Look familiar Carl?"
Carl looked at the device and sighed.
"Yes, it looks like the bugs that the Blue Devil used on me and several imperial soldiers at the munitions disarmament plant Three years before the Crogs attacked, it's been four years since I've seen these.
"Four years, That's how long the Crogs had control of our world until after the great race." Said Canaan
"How were you able to stave off the Crogs attack?" said the Queen"We were ready for them." said Van "We were alerted by the Zodians after they repelled them from their world a couple of months earlier."
"We told them anything and everything that would be of use and they took it from there." said Amberite
"But the one thing we didn't count on was the sheer strength of a Crog they were able to tear apart several of our strongest Zoids with their bear hands." said Carl
"Thankfully we were able to hold our own with the Zodians help they came in with 'guns ablazin' so to speak." said Van
"We couldn't stand by and watch another world be attack by those brutes so we jumped in to help." said Alex.
"Then how were they able to brainwash Thomas?" said Canaan
"It appears that they got a hold on some of Reese's disabled mind control beetles and restored them." said Fiona
"Thomas was listed as MIA for 3 weeks before the Crogs were defeated." said Van
"This is all good and everything but we won't know what happened to him unless he wakes up but there's no guarantee he'll remember anything." said Rick
"Well Amber and I have developed away to bring regressed memories to the surface." said Luna
Just then Thomas Stirred and opened his eyes.
"Thomas, are you alright?" said Carl
"Yes and No." Thomas got up and knelt before the Queen. "Please forgive my actions I could not stop myself from helping them, I don't even know why I did but I swear on my honor I will get your son and husband back."
"You need not apologize, you were under the control of the Crogs."
"yes but"
"But nothing, you haven't the strength to face them yet you must rest."
"Thomas will you let me and Amber place you in regressive hypnosis to help find out how this bug ended up on you." asked Luna
"Yeah sure."
"Ok , we're going to need a bowl of water and some candles." said Amber
(Crog Hideout in near ancient ruins)
"General, the prisoners have been stored below and the scout ship will be here in 24 hrs."
"Excellent, it would have been nice to have the traitorous prince die along with his… 'princess'(hey, you'd be sore too if you were a big strong Crog and you got taken out by 2 measly Human teenagers. YAY EARTH) but I guess I'll have to settle with father and son."
(Down in the prison hold)
"My son I am sorry I should have never had allowed our people to fall under the Crogs control."
"You were only doing what was best for our people father there is nothing to be sorry for."
"So much for your precious peace treaty between your world and theirs, after we kill the earth girl, her world will send every military personal to destroy your world and in a few days time each and every ambassador will be slaughtered and war will spread like fire across the galaxy." *Cackles*
(Back in the Palace healing room)
"Okay were all set." said Amberite as she lit the last candle
"Then let's begin." As Luna lifts her hands the water moved along with them she lowered the water bubble in front of the candle sitting in front of Thomas. When she moved her hands from side to side the water bubble stretched and started to move back and fourth in front of the candle slowly. "Alright Thomas I need you to relax, focus on the flame on the candle. Let the water help you focus on the flame." said Luna. As Thomas stared at the flame and listened to their voices his eyes slowly closed until his head lowered and his are dropped to his sides. "Let it move you backward through you mind. One day ago, two days ago , one week ago, further and further back until the day you went missing on the battlefield. Where are you?" said Amberite
"I'm… in… Beek." he said slowly "I was on my way back to the base after sending some vital information on some Crog tridents that I had discovered at an abandoned base to doctor D, when out of nowhere I was hit by an electromagnetic pulse. The electrical surge blew the communication grid on Beek so I couldn't call for help. Then the cockpit glass was shattered by a huge hand which knocked me unconscious."
"So that's how he was taken." said Carl "Ask him what happened afterwards."
"What happened next?" asked Luna
"I woke up with a huge headache. I looked around to see that I was in a room at a Crog installation more than likely it was the one I saw with all the tridents."
(Flashback)
"So you are awake human"
"Who are you?"
"I am Toros, Colonel of the Crog Imperial and you are a spy."
"You invaded our world and threatened our people, you expect us to sit by and do nothing yeah right."
*Chuckles* "You are so naïve boy, we are superior to you and every single way. You should just except it and surrender."
"The leaders of our nations will never surrender to the like of you and your kind."
"Perhaps not but maybe you nations will fall from with in."
"How are you going to do that?"
"With this."
Toros stepped aside as a medical officer came in carrying a tray and set it on the table next to Thomas. He looked over and saw a bug that looked like one of Reese's Blue beetles but it was red and if you look at it under a magnifying glass you would see the Crog insignia on the top.
"That looks like one of the Blue Devil's Beetles."
"So you are familiar with the technology, good then I won't have to explain what is going to happen next." said Cross as he jerked Thomas's head forward to expose the back of his neck. Thomas Struggled but against a Crog his efforts were futile. As the device latched on to his neck it caused a spark which went through his whole body causing him to cry out in pain.
Cross watched as he tried to resist the device with amusement. "Hmm these humans are determined creatures but in the end technology always wins." Cross cackles as he leaves Thomas to try and fend off the Beetles effects. It would be two weeks but he finally succumbed to the beetles effects.
"Now let us begin you new mission."
(End Flashback)
"Before I was released that Toros was called way by his superiors for a new mission and the beetle was deactivated and I had lost consciousness."
"It was a few days later a couple of solders found him wandering in the desert in a daze not being able to remember anything from the past 3 weeks." said Van
"We thought it would be best if we placed him on Medical Leave until we were able to get to the bottom of his disappearance But were unable to because the Crogs had withdrew from the planet." said Carl
"Withdrew? Why?" said Rick
"Something about a great race was about to begin." said Fiona
"Then how come we didn't see you at the great race? Were you on Sagrar or Darwar instead of Alwas?" asked Stan
"No we weren't called there at all because the avatar said that the human race was already being represented by humans from another planet." said Carl
"That was us." said Koji
"And from how sore the Crogs were, you've won the great race." said Van
"Yup and the rest is history." said Stan
"Alright you can bring him out of the trance we have all the information that we need." said Carl
As the girls worked on bringing Thomas out of the trance Don wondered why Eva was so quiet.
"Is everything alright Eva? Eva?" Don turned around and notice that she wasn't were she was standing when they came in.
"Has anyone seen Eva?"
(Down in the Royal stables)
Eva had just arrived after a visit to the royal armory to pick up a few weapons to help her. She spotted G'dar in his stall. G'dar clicked at her as if he knew why she was here.
"Ok big guy, Aikka and his father need to be rescued and only you know where they are so I need you help. You up for it?"
*Shriek*
"I'll take that as a yes."
"I know you are not going without some backup."
Eva jumped at the voice and turned around to see Alex and Obsedia along with the Queen, Aieka and Sasami.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"We know what you're up to and we've decided that you are going to need some help." said the Queen
"So that's why we 're coming with you, you're gonna need someone who can bend metal and control all four elements at once." said Obsedia
"You're right I am gonna need some help but you can't tell my dad he'll freak, well not I've left."
"Very well then, here take this." said Aieka she handed Eva a wooden tube with purple writing on it.
"What's this?"
"Our two Guardians." said Sasami
"Wait, this thing is those 2 big talking totem poles?" said Alex
"Yes, when there are not active."
"Ok well let's get going if we want to find them before they leave the planet." said Eva
"Wait before you go Eva, Take this too." said the Queen placing a blue crescent moon necklace around her neck.
"It's beautiful." said Eva
"It's the symbol of Sekai, one of our Moon Goddess. It offers protection to it's wearer and to those around them, good luck."
"Thank You." said Eva
"OK boy, I'm not sure what I'm doing as far as flying goes so if you can't find Aikka's scent we can fly and help him."
For some reason or another G'dar understood her and walked out of the stables opened his wings and started to hover
"Be careful." said Aieka
"We will" Said Eva
(The Palace healing room)
"Where could she have gone?" said Don pacing
"She probably went to bed." said Koji
Just then they all heard a giant beetle flying by. Don rushed to the window and saw Eva, Alex and Obsedia take off.
"EEEEVVVVVAAAAAA!!!!" Don shouted
"Guess your dad knows now." said Obsedia
"And from the sound of it you're gonna hear about this when we get back." said Alex
"I know, but can't worry bout that now we have some royals to save."
And with that all three took off to save Prince Aikka and the King.
